Suggestions for a feminist Godwin's Law.

I have only been on Mumsnet for a couple of days, but reading a few threads here leads me to believe that feminism needs an equivalent to Godwin's law, hopefully it would be another weapon in our armoury when faced with derailments on feminist issues.

Maybe it's the feinting female in me, we mustn't push ourselves forward, we might upset the men.In which case if it were named after me it should be M********'s law, but then ironically I took my husband's name so that means it would be his name, but then it was conversations with him that led to the thread so...Argh, I am a betrayer of all womankind! Buggar.

Just an extra idea, perhaps it could actually be more like bingo. Each Misogynist trope gets a number, and when we've spotted them all in one thread we get to call 'Misogynist Bingo', do you think MN would be up for organising prizes?I'll shut up now.

Unfortunately the word 'feminist' is itself a Godwin's Law in many situations. It is especially used against young women by young men. No need for Feminazi or ball breaker or any of the rest. 'Feminist' is now a gendered insult.

Really good blog, thanks. Will bookmark.You're so right about the word feminist, but I will stubbornly continue to use it, I will NOT be silenced by those creeps.Although it would be nice if feminists could have a new name, like 'The Sherbet Dip Dabs', you couldn't demonise that, and 'The Sherbet Dip Dabzis' just wouldn't work. Then again the MRM could demonise anything, they're just horrible.Maybe we could give them a new name? 'The Poo heads', I mean they're too stupid to have a cool evil name. Sorry for rambling, bored and tired, insomnia sucks bum!

I know It's a bit tangential but, can anyone tell me why the media are so obsessed with opening doors?It seems every time the word feminist is mentioned, door opening becomes the issue of the day.Yes I want the door opening, yes I'm a feminist, surely EVERYONE should open doors for EVERYONE else, isn't that just polite?
